Two white hipsters try to pass off a recording as an authentic, ultra-rare blues 78 leading them on a dark descent into America's history of racism and cultural appropriation. An unsettling foray into psychological horror by the critically acclaimed author of GODS WITHOUT MEN, WHITE TEARS is an unputdownable ghost story that is also a scathing and timely indictment of our society's very real terrors.
Magda Szabó, the brilliant author of THE DOOR, returns with another psychologically complex story about family and the rifts between generations. Ettie has just been widowed and her daughter, Iza, urges her to move to Budapest where she practices medicine. However hard the mother and daughter try to accomodate the other, rifts seem inevitable. Szabó has a keen eye and a masterful sense of the motives that drive us. Behind the backdrop of Communist Hungary, IZA'S BALLAD is another unforgettable tale of family and the unseen destruction of good intentions.
A heartbreaking and honest collection about chronic mental illness and its effects on Wang. Through these essays Wang's mission is not to scare, shock, or make the reader feel sorry for her, but to create an environment where mental illness is better understood and destigmatized within our culture. An eye-opening collection of essays from a truly exceptional writer.
"Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it." Foul Is Fair is a primal, savage retelling of Macbeth following one girl out for the blood of her rapists. Capin's prose are seductive, drawing you in before slicing to the quick. This is catharsis at its best and perfect for the #metoo movement!
